Dehiscence and Necrosis

Abstract

Wound healing is comprised of a complex cycle of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Vast numbers of cellular growth factors, cytokines, and cell types are involved. Recent research has provided new information that may enable clinicians to improve wound healing in the future. Although there is currently a wealth of knowledge about the science of wound healing, the incidence of acute wound failure has not decreased significantly in the last 75 years.1
